Timberwolves released G Will Conroy

The move was predicted hours ago when it was announced Josh Howard signed a one-year deal. The T-wolves forfeited Conroy's space on the roster to make room for Howard. Conroy appeared in only four games this season, seeing a combined 21 minutes of action. Thu, Nov 15, 2012 01:17:00 PM

Will Conroy is likely to remain with the Timberwolves until Ricky Rubio (knee surgery) is healthy.

Conroy is on a partially guaranteed deal, but he's worth keeping around at minimal cost with Rubio sidelined. The decision to keep him could look especially smart if Luke Ridnour continues to experience issues with his back. Mon, Oct 29, 2012 09:25:00 AM

Updating a previous item, Will Conroy has signed a partially guaranteed contract with the Timberwolves.

Conroy will be with his Minnesota teammates on Friday. Conroy has bounced around the league and has not been on an NBA roster since 2009. He's an extreme long shot to make the team as a third-string point guard. Wed, Sep 12, 2012 04:07:00 PM

Will Conroy tweeted that he "can't wait" to join Brandon Roy in Minnesota.

Conroy was alluding to the fact that he'll be brought into training camp on a partially guaranteed deal. He's got an uphill climb in order to make the final roster with the team's current depth at PG. Wed, Sep 12, 2012 09:06:00 AM

Tom Thibodeau said that Nemanja Bjelica (foot) will be a "critical piece" for the Wolves next season.

Thibodeau also said that Bjelica has been rehabbing at the Timberwolves practice facility this summer, but didn't offer a firm timetable for his return. Bjelica suffered a navicular bone fracture to his left foot in March, but if he continues to rehab without experiencing any setbacks, there's a chance he'll be ready for the start of his 2017-18 campaign. It sounds like Bjelica will earn quality minutes with the Wolves next year, but as long as Gorgui Dieng is healthy, it's unlikely Bjelica will earn enough minutes to warrant standard league consideration.

Justin Patton underwent successful surgery to repair a fractured fifth metatarsal in his left foot on Tuesday, and he is being listed as out indefinitely.

Patton was taken with the No. 16 pick in the 2017 NBA draft (the pick that was acquired from Chicago in the Jimmy Butler trade), so this is an unfortunate start to his career in Minnesota. He'll obviously miss all of summer league, and unfortunately, this is an injury that tends to involve a very slow recovery process; so we might not see Patton make his NBA debut until very late in the season. As of right now, he's completely off the radar in all re-draft formats.
